Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to armrests, and more specifically, sidestick control armrests.
- In many aircraft, a pilot's seating position is defined by a desirable line of sight such that the pilot's head is in substantially the same location within the cockpit regardless of the pilot's size. However, aircraft controls, particularly sidestick controls, are in a fixed location such that relation between the pilot's arm and sidestick control may be substantially different depending on the size of the pilot.
- Existing console mounted armrests require multiple points of adjustment to comfortably accommodate differently sized pilots. Multiple points of adjustment create clutter, confusion, and added complexity.
- In one aspect, embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to a console mounted armrest having an adjustable post to raise and lower the armrest, and a linkage. The linkage defines the tilt of the armrest with respect to the post. A single control mechanism controls the motion of the post, and thereby also controls the tilt of the armrest to maintain a desirable orientation with respect to the sidestick.
- In a further aspect, the control mechanism defines multiple positive lock-out positions with respect to the post such that the control mechanism will always engage one of the positive lock-out positions.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and should not restrict the scope of the claims. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate exemplary embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein and together with the general description, serve to explain the principles.
- The numerous advantages of the embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein may be better understood by those skilled in the art by reference to the accompanying figures in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows an environmental view of a console mounted armrest according to an exemplary embodiment; -
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a console mounted armrest according to an exemplary embodiment; -
FIG. 3 shows a perspective, exploded view of a console mounted armrest according to an exemplary embodiment; -
FIG. 4A shows a side view of a console mounted armrest according to an exemplary embodiment; -

FIG. 5A shows a top, detail view of a locking mechanism according to an exemplary embodiment; -
FIG. 5B shows a top, detail view of a locking mechanism according to an exemplary embodiment; - Before explaining at least one embodiment of the inventive concepts disclosed herein in detail, it is to be understood that the inventive concepts are not limited in their application to the details of construction and the arrangement of the components or steps or methodologies set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. In the following detailed description of embodiments of the instant inventive concepts, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the inventive concepts. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the instant disclosure that the inventive concepts disclosed herein may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known features may not be described in detail to avoid unnecessarily complicating the instant disclosure. The inventive concepts disclosed herein are capable of other embodiments or of being practiced or carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
- As used herein a letter following a reference numeral is intended to reference an embodiment of the feature or element that may be similar, but not necessarily identical, to a previously described element or feature bearing the same reference numeral (e.g., 1, 1a, 1b). Such shorthand notations are used for purposes of convenience only, and should not be construed to limit the inventive concepts disclosed herein in any way unless expressly stated to the contrary.
- Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, "or" refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by anyone of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).
- In addition, use of the "a" or "an" are employed to describe elements and components of embodiments of the instant inventive concepts. This is done merely for convenience and to give a general sense of the inventive concepts, and "a" and "an" are intended to include one or at least one and the singular also includes the plural unless it is obvious that it is meant otherwise.
- Finally, as used herein any reference to "one embodiment," or "some embodiments" means that a particular element, feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the inventive concepts disclosed herein. The appearances of the phrase "in some embodiments" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, and embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed may include one or more of the features expressly described or inherently present herein, or any combination of sub-combination of two or more such features, along with any other features which may not necessarily be expressly described or inherently present in the instant disclosure.
- Broadly, embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to a console mounted armrest having an adjustable post to raise and lower the armrest, and a linkage. The linkage defines the tilt of the armrest with respect to the post. A single control mechanism controls the motion of the post, and thereby also controls the tilt of the armrest to maintain a desirable orientation with respect to the sidestick. The control mechanism defines multiple positive lock-out positions with respect to the post such that the control mechanism will always engage one of the positive lock-out positions.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , an environmental view of a console mounted armrest according to an exemplary embodiment is shown. The console mounted armrest includes anarm pad deck 102 connected to alocking mechanism 108 view a verticallydisplaceable post 104. Thepost 104 moves up and down at the discretion of the user to maintain thearm pad deck 102 in a desired orientation with respect to asidestick 100 or other such control element. As thepost 104 moves up and down, alinkage 106 connected to thearm pad deck 102 alters the tilt of thearm pad deck 102 to maintain the orientation. Thelinkage 106 defines the tilt with respect to the linear vertical displacement of thepost 104. - Because the tilt and vertical displacement are related, both may be controlled by the
locking mechanism 108. Asingle control element 110 allows the user to adjust both the height and tilt of the armrest. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , a perspective view of a console mounted armrest according to an exemplary embodiment is shown. An arm pad deck (and corresponding arm pad) 202 is pivotably connected to apost 204, disposed at a posterior portion of thearm pad deck 202; thepost 204 may be raised and lowered. Alinkage 206 connects an anterior portion of thearm pad deck 202 to alocking mechanism 208 or a portion of a corresponding armrest proximal to thelocking mechanism 208. - As the
post 204 is raised and lowered, thelinkage 206 causes thearm pad deck 202 to tilt. The shape of thelinkage 206 and the points of connection between thelinkage 206 and the armrest orlocking mechanism 208 define the relationship between the linear displacement of thepost 204 and magnitude of tilt. - In at least one embodiment, a
single control element 210 actuates thelocking mechanism 208 to set the linear displacement of thepost 204, and thereby the tilt of thearm pad deck 202. Thesingle control element 210 may comprise an extended rod to allow the user to actuate thelocking mechanism 208 while the user's arm is on thearm pad deck 202. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , a perspective, exploded view of a console mounted armrest according to an exemplary embodiment is shown. Anarm pad deck 302 is pivotably connected to apost 304 at a posterior portion via apost connection pin 316 and pivotably connected to alinkage 306 at an anterior portion vialinkage connection pin 318. Alocking mechanism 308 controls the linear displacement of thepost 304. Thelocking mechanism 308 is actuated by asingle control element 310. Thesingle control element 310 may comprise a rod that engages one of a plurality ofpost grooves 320 defined by thepost 304. Each of the plurality ofpost grooves 320 defines a fixed position of thepost 304 and corresponding tilt of thearm pad deck 302 to maintain a relationship between anarm pad 312 and control such as a side stick control. - In at least one embodiment, a
post spring 314 biases thepost 304 upward. In such embodiment, when thesingle control element 310 is actuated, thepost 304 is released to travel up toward a user's arm. The user may then apply a downward force to thearm pad 312 to arrive at the desired position. - Referring to
FIGS. 4A-4B , side views of a console mounted armrest according to an exemplary embodiment are shown. In a fully retracted orientation (such as inFIG. 4A ), apost 404 connected to anarm pad deck 402 is fully retracted within the armrest and held in place via alocking mechanism 408 having asingle control element 410 that engages apost groove 420 defined by thepost 404. In at least one embodiment, apost spring 414 configured to bias thepost 404 upward is in a state of maximum extension. Alinkage 406 connecting thearm pad deck 402 to thelocking mechanism 408 controls the tilt of thearm pad deck 402 to rest flush with the armrest. - In a fully extended orientation (such as in
FIG. 4B ), thepost 404 is fully extended, with a portion of thepost 404 within thelocking mechanism 408 and held in position via thesingle control element 410 engaging adifferent post groove 420 defined by thepost 404. In at least one embodiment, thepost spring 414 is in a state of minimum extension. Thelinkage 406 connecting thearm pad deck 402 to thelocking mechanism 408 controls the tilt of thearm pad deck 402 to maintain a relationship between thearm pad deck 402 and a corresponding control. - Referring to
FIGS. 5A-5B , top, detail views of alocking mechanism 508 according to an exemplary embodiment are shown. Thelocking mechanism 508 defines a shaft to accommodate and guidepost 504. Thepost 504 defines a plurality ofpost grooves 520; thepost grooves 520 configured to engage acontrol element 510. Furthermore, thecontrol element 510 defines acontrol groove 528. - In at least one embodiment, the
control element 510 includesstops locking mechanism 508. In at least one embodiment, acontrol element spring 522 biases thecontrol element 510 toward the engaged state. - When engaged (such as in
FIG. 5A ), a portion of thecontrol element 510 is coincident with one of thepost grooves 520. Thepost 504 is held in a fixed position defined by thepost groove 520, which also control the tilt of an arm pad via a linkage 506. - Likewise, when disengaged (such as in
FIG. 5B ), thecontrol groove 528 is coincident with thepost 504 so that thepost 504 can move past thecontrol element 510. Thepost 504 may move (for example, via a post spring 514) until thecontrol element 510 coincides with one of thepost grooves 520, at which point thecontrol element spring 522 biases thecontrol element 510 toward the engaged state. - It is believed that the inventive concepts disclosed herein and many of their attendant advantages will be understood by the foregoing description of embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction, and arrangement of the components thereof without departing from the broad scope of the inventive concepts disclosed herein or without sacrificing all of their material advantages; and individual features from various embodiments may be combined to arrive at other embodiments. The form herein before described being merely an explanatory embodiment thereof, it is the intention of the following claims to encompass and include such changes.
